Mukul Roy, who had joined the BJP with much fanfare, has returned to Trinamool Congress. Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee welcomed him &lsquo;home&rsquo; and said he is not a traitor like the others. What remains to be seen now is whether the return of the prodigal son will trigger exodus out of BJP.&nbsp; Roy has said that in the present circumstances in Bengal, no one will stay in BJP. Does this mean a &lsquo;reverse migration&rsquo; has begun in Bengal post the polls? Bengal Chief Minister is confident &lsquo;more will come&rsquo;

Bengal political circles are abuzz with the speculation of BJP vice president Mukul Roy switching back to the Trinamool Congress. Media reports quoting sources said that the high profile ghar wapasi is set to happen soon. 
Roy who had joined the BJP in 2017 triggered the speculation of going back to the TMC after Mamata Banerjee&rsquo;s nephew Abhishek Banerjee visited his ailing wife at a Kolkata hospital.
The very next day PM Modi called Roy, a move viewed by many as BJP&rsquo;s desperation to salvage the party&rsquo;s state unit. 
The former Railway Minister also skipped a meeting in Kolkata this week called by Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh. He had missed another meeting of BJP legislators called by Ghosh on May 7. Roy's absence in the BJP's feedback and review meet has also fuelled speculation of an imminent rift between him and Suvendu Adhikari.
Roy is not alone. Dipendu Biswas, Sonali Guha, Sarla Murmu, Amol Acharya , Prabir Ghosal are among the others who have expressed their "unhappiness" with the BJP. Many turncoats have apologised to Mamata Banerjee for leaving the party.

The Delhi Development Authority on Wednesday put up the draft Masterplan-2041 on its website and invited public suggestions and objections.
Among proposals to curb pollution are Miyawaki forests, smog absorption towers and other technological solutions. So what is a Miyawaki forest?
Invented by and named after Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, the 'Miyawaki Method' is a unique technique to grow an urban forest that involves planting various native species close to each other. This ensures that the plants receive sunlight only from the top and grow upwards and not sideways.
It requires at least a 20 sq ft area and the plants grow ten times faster. The forest becomes maintenance-free in three years.
"Native species of trees and plants which act as pollution filters should be included in various greening initiatives," thr MAsterplan suggests.
